Innovation Abstracts

Latest Version

Volume XXXIX, No. 20 | September 21, 2017

In this week’s Innovation Abstracts, “As I Watch My Students Leave,” J. Lance Boyd, Instructor, Mathematics, Wallace State Community College (AL), reflects on how lessons students learn in class also help them on their individual journeys beyond the classroom.

Each week faculty, administrators, and staff at NISOD-member colleges receive Innovation Abstracts, NISOD’s flagship teaching and learning publication, written by and for community and technical college practitioners. Authors share their best ideas about programs, projects, and strategies that improve students’ higher education experiences. A full academic year’s collection features a wide array of topics with each issue having something for everyone. Opinions and views expressed are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of NISOD.
